The Bastard's Bride (Book One in The Bastard's Bride Series)
Gemma never expected her fate to be sealed with a signature on a contract she never agreed to. A foreign land. A husband she's never met. A future that is not her own.
Forced into an arranged marriage to secure a deal between powerful men, Gemma is sent across the world to the scorching heat of the Middle Eastern desert, where her soon-to-be husband awaits. He is TARRECK, the bastard son of the Sultan-a man feared, revered, and whispered about in hushed tones. He is a warrior, a war god in human form, ruthless and unreadable. And he does not speak a word of English.
Trapped in a land where she is a stranger, bound to a husband who sees her as nothing more than the key to his father's favor, Gemma fights against the invisible chains that hold her. But TARRECK is not a man who is easily denied. His touch burns hotter than the desert sun, his presence consuming, his dark eyes promising both dominance and protection.
She is his. By law. By duty. By force.
But as desire simmers beneath their battles, and the lines between prisoner and bride blur, Gemma must decide-is she willing to fight for her freedom, or will she surrender to the man who has claimed her as his?
He doesn't love her. He doesn't need to.
She was always meant to be his.
